The loony Swiss outfit put its twist on the Flachbau by adding hot pink
paint, color-matched wheels, the requisite body kit, and
Testarossa-inspired side slats. Inside, Rinspeed installed power seats,
the best hi-fi audio 1986 had to offer, and steering-wheel controls that
would give Ray LaHood a nervous breakdown today.True to the era that spawned it, this car's looks were dated almost before it left the factory floor.

In a strange way, though, that's part of its appeal. If you've got
$79,000 to pony up, this Rinspeed R69, claimed to be the only one in the
U.S., can be yours. Check out the entire eBay listing, or eyeball the photo gallery above for the whole plasticky package.
